Thread: landing pages & referrers

question about referrers -

this may depend completely on the affil. program... but is it less suspicious to affilates if I have a landing page redirecting to an ad without a referrer, or should i allow the referrer of the landing page to go through to the affil?

for instance

youtube comment -> xyzlandingdomain.com --redirect--> ad
or
youtube comment -> xyzlandingdomain.com --iframe--> ad

should i avoid sending the referrer or not? it seems the nature of ads would make it suspicious if people arrived at the ad with no referrer...

or maybe i'm just nitpicking.

A blank referrer would surely raise questions and there are valid answers that you could give. But if you do have a decent landing page, I don't think there's any harm in allowing the referrer ...

give me a day and ill have a very clever response to this question. muahaha ****seeeeecrets****

in the past there have been some hacks you could do to spoof the referrer... i wonder how well that would work should it ever be possible again.
